About These Birds
Bay Wren
The Bay Wren is a richly colored wren found in the dense undergrowth of lowland rainforests from Honduras to Ecuador and northern Brazil. It has a black crown and face, chestnut back and wings, and a barred tail. It skulks in dense vegetation near forest streams, feeding on insects and spiders, and is more often heard than seen.
Zaunkönig
Der Zaunkönig ist einer der kleinsten Vögel Europas, besitzt jedoch einen für seine Größe erstaunlich lauten Gesang. Männchen bauen mehrere kuppelförmige Nester, von denen das Weibchen eines zum Auspolstern auswählt. In der britischen Folklore gilt der Zaunkönig als König der Vögel, weil er den Adler in einem Flugwettbewerb überlistete.
